【推荐2】Puberty is the stage of life when young people leave childhood and head into adulthood. It is a difficult process for teenagers because it has an effect on both their minds and bodies. They need to understand what is going on with their bodies, how to deal with those changes and how to start taking responsibility for themselves.

A young person may begin puberty at 8, while another may not start puberty until 14 or 15. In general, girls start puberty two years before boys do. For both girls and boys, it is usually complete by the age of 18.

During these years, the body develops in many ways. Feelings can also change quickly.

Teenage boys at this stage often begin to take unnecessary risks. Their focus is on having fun and being accepted by others. They need to think before they act and make good decisions for themselves.

A girl's personality often does not develop in the same way as a boy's. Teenage girls sometimes lose confidence in themselves. They are no longer certain about their own feelings. Yet they are usually afraid to tell their parents or teachers about their problems. For this reason, teenage girls should be encouraged to discuss things with trusted adults.

Parents, schools and communities can do a lot to care for and help young people. It is everyone's responsibility to make sure that young people grow into healthy adults.

【推荐3】If you have a dog, you probably feel a strong bond (纽带) with it. A recent study found that this bond may not only be important to kids, but also be important to dogs.

Researchers at Oregon State University studied the relationship between kids and dogs. To do the study, they recruited (招募) 30 young people aged 8 to 17, who have dogs to do an experiment. The kids were asked to bring their dogs to an empty room. In the room, a kid was asked to walk around the huge space, sometimes stopping or changing the direction. “And the dog was left to do whatever the dog wanted to do.” says Monique Udell, one of the study’s authors.

But most of the time, the dog didn’t do any of those things. Instead, it stayed close to its owner and moved similarly to its owner. The dogs did this far more often than you would expect them to do it by chance.

What does this mean? Udell explains that this is a dog’s way of building a relationship with a human, “Dogs always stay close to kids, even though adults are usually the ones who feed and care for them. The kid may play a sibling (兄弟姐妹) role in the life of the dog,” Udell says. “This shows that the relationship between kids and dogs is of great importance to the dogs.”

So far, Udell’s team’s study has just focused on dogs. Udell wonders if the animal-human bond is important to other kinds of pets as well. Researchers say that more studies will be done.

1. Why did researchers do the experiment?

A．To have more dogs to do the research.	B．To find out the importance of pet dogs.
C．To recruit 30 young people for the study.	D．To study the bond between kids and dogs.

2. What did the dogs do in the experiment?

A．They were left from their owners.	B．They followed their owners closely.
C．They barked loudly at their owners.	D．They gave much help to their owners.

3. What makes a dog stay closer to a kid than to an adult?

A．Its fear of adults.	B．Kids’ love for them.
C．The dangers in its life.	D．Its wish to have a sibling.

4. What can be learned from the passage about Udell’s team’s study?

A．The study still has a long way to go.

B．The study makes no sense in petting dogs.

C．Kids look after pet dogs better than adults.

D．Other animals also stay closer to kids than adults.

5. Which is the best title for the passage?

A．The strong bond of kids	B．The favorite pets of kids

【推荐1】The internet is a place where we can talk freely, but it is also a place where we pay little attention to whether or not our language ability is becoming poorer.

According to a recent survey by China Youth Daily, more than 76 percent of young people in China said they felt their Chinese language skills have declined. They don’t use rhetorical technique (修辞手法) as often any more. It is believed that technology and internet emojis (表情包) have changed their communication habits.

For example, direct expression is a preferred way to communicate online. When one sees something funny, one will simply type “hahaha” or use the “cry-laugh” emoji, Beijing Youth Daily noticed. What’s more, Cai Xiaoxia, a teacher from Fuzhou, told China Youth Daily that words in general are being used less. For example, people can share photos and emojis online with little need for words to describe them.

Also, “copy and paste” culture is getting popular. People simply pick up expressions from the internet without much thought. Many begin to use a fixed set of sentence patterns, such as “…yyds”.

If this continues, it could influence our way of thinking, People’s Daily believed. When we use expressions without thinking, it means we have become too lazy to express our real feelings. If teenagers are used to using emojis, they could lose the ability to use words properly.

To improve our language skills, experts suggest that we should try to think independently and develop our own language. They also suggest that we should read more works of literature (文学). Keep using different words to show your special feelings, said Shen Xiaolong, a professor in the Chinese department at Fudan University.

【推荐2】Many scientists believe our love of sugar may actually be an addiction (上瘾). When we eat or drink sugary food, the sugar enters our blood and influences parts of our brain that make us feel good. Then the good feeling goes away, leaving us wanting more. All tasty foods do this, but sugar has a stronger effect (影响).

“It seems like every time I study an illness, I find my way back to sugar,” says Richard Johnson, a famous scientist. One-third of adults in his country have high blood pressure, and up to 347 million have diabetes (糖尿病). Why? “Sugar, we believe, is one of the main reasons,” says Johnson.

Our bodies are designed to live on very little sugar. Early humans often had little food, so the bodies learned to keep sugar as fat. In this way, we had energy when there was no food. But today, most people have more than enough. So the very important thing that once saved us may now be killing us.

It’s clear that we need to eat less sugar. The trouble is, in today’s world, it’s very difficult to avoid sugar because our foods are increasingly filled with it. In most advertisements, some manufactures even use sugar to take the place of the fat in foods. As a result, the fat in the foods is less. This may make the food appear healthier, but much sugar is often added.

But there are those who are fighting back against sugar. Many schools are offering more fruit instead of desserts. Other schools are building places for students to do exercise. The battle (战斗) has not yet been lost.

【推荐3】“Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.” This is an old English saying. It means that when we go to bed early, we can get up early the next morning. Then we will become healthy. We will also become rich and clever.

            This is true. To keep healthy, we must have enough sleep. Experts (专家) say that adults should get seven to eight hours of sleep a night. Teenagers need nine to ten hours. And school-aged children may need more than ten hours of sleep. Children who do not have enough sleep can’t do their work very well. They won’t be wise and they may not become wealthy!
            We also need exercise. Walking, running, swimming and playing games are all exercise. Exercise keeps us strong. It also helps the blood to move around the body. This is very important. Our blood takes the nutrition (营养) from food to all parts of our body.
            The head also needs blood. So exercise that moves the blood to our head helps us think better!
